Hi,
We have been refused for a visit visa as well. And we are planning for a second try. We are family of three and my partner is the principal applicant who has a sister in Canada with PR. The reasons are:
1. Family ties in Canada and in country of residence - We only attached the birth certificate of my partner.
2. Current employment situation - We didn't attach any employment letter.
3. Personal assets and financial status - we only attach our bank statement and my partner pay slip.
Now, we will be attaching the following:
1. Affidavit of relationship and Birth certificate of my partner and sister.
2. Employment letter and salary certificate for my partner and me, my payslip as well and our properties in our home country and car property in our country of residence.
But still afraid that we'll gonna be rejected. It will be frustrating if it happens.
Can someone advise how to proceed further? Not sure if these docs will work this time. But will be applying this week.
Thanks,
Hi,
First off, do have a look at the document checklist for your country of nationality on the CIC website.
Some suggestions:
1. Did you submit proofs of your relationship to your partner considering his/her sister is the host/person inviting you?
2. What does the third applicant do?
3. Did you prepare/briefly list the places you'd like to visit, etc as part of the Purpose of Visit
4. How much finances did you show for the three of you? For how long do you intend to visit?
5. For evidence of employment and financial status, you must submit leave approval letters from your employer(s) stating your jobs will be there when you return + 6 months of pay stubs + Income Tax Returns + proofs of a *must return by date* for professional/personal commitments + financial investments (bank term deposits, mutual funds, shares, pension funds, etc).
Do ensure there are no large deposits/transfers in your bank accounts or no funds borrowed for the visa application.
6. For your properties: Assessment by a chartered accountant + market realty proofs of indicative rates for the area where your properties are located + if you've paid off the mortgage then do mention this (as it shows a strong financial situation).
Any rental income?
7. Do you have other family in your country of residence (dependent family or other family members who live nearby)? This could help to counter the first reason for refusal
Cheers
